On Thu Sep 14, Meaningful Movies at the Cascade Park Library will feature a 2012 film from Portland titled American Winter. American Winter was filmed during the winter of 2011-2012 in Portland, Oregon, in the wake of the worst U.S. Economic crisis since the Great Depression. The film documents the experiences of eight families struggling to meet their basic needs and turning to social services for assistance after facing unforeseen financial setbacks.

Join the Meaningful Movies group for the movie on September 14 6-8pm, and return for a discussion on September 21.
